Meyer put up $40 and Fails put up at the
caliboose Monday the warrants were with
drawn and another complaint made against
Fails, but there was no warrant served and
ne was discharged, Tuesday morning he left
for Salem. Fails has taken bad start In
life and needs to hold his horses or he will
land where meetings are never disturbed.

In disturbing religious meetings either at a
church or the barracks need TO have some
one tell them that II Is the meanest kind OF
hoodlumism. II they don't believe In the
Salvation Army men they should leave
them alone. II Is little pcrsecuUbns that

Another Chapter.

The Oysgonian of Friday gives a strange
account of an experience in Matte Allison's
life that recently occurred, in Portland. A
man entered the house at night where Mrs
Parrish, Matte and a son were residing,
Miss Minnie being with them at the time,
and going to the room of the two young
ladies either attempted to chloroform Matte
and carry her off or throw vitriol in her
face. Covering her head with the bed
clothes and screaming loudly she frightened
him away and aroused the household and
neighbors. Two or three saw the man rush
from the house and enter cab IN waiting
for him and driye off. The matter WIS kept
quiet for two weeks when X leaked out.
Mattie's life is being filed with chapters Of
startling events.

IN the o. p. that road was one of his objects
In view. While in the State he made the
remark to gentleman that ne considered
Albany the finest inland city in the state
with the best prospects. He belieyed il
would become the largest city outside OF
Portland In Oregon, and expressed his con-
fdence in It by purchasing fine farm near
the city. II Is a fact that outside Of the
State, as we'll as in il, Albany is the central
point on which most eyes are resting. If a
boom should strike the State Il viii be one

Reduction in Fare.

The Oregon Pacific Railroad Co, and the
Oregon Development Co. have made a
sweeping reduction in passenger fares be-
tween Albany and Corvallis and San Fran
cisco taking effect September TSth. First
class fares have been placed at SIo7S and
steerage 5000 They have also placed on
sale frst-cIass round trip tickets at SI9.5o
each. The above rates are exceedingly
low, lower than any one expected to see for
many years yet and the fact that the re-
duction is not made because Of pressure of
any kind Is only another indication of the
intention of these companies to give the
people the very cheapest rates possible, and
to fully merit the proud titleot the "Peo-
pies Line"
